Happy birthday, Shir! And happy anniversary to Sheryl and her DH!
This weekend: Dad'll be here in an hour for the afternoon, and then I have got to get over to the grocery store. I also have to drop off my old computer at the electronics store for recycling and also run over to Goodwill to drop off some more stuff, then stop by the bookstore to see what my schedule is for next week. After that, I get to relax--yay! I'm thinking about going to see Harry Potter on the IMAX (complete with 3D sequences), but since I've already seen it twice, maybe not.
Wow - I would think it was pretty risky for a teacher, even at a University to be posting such things.
I really want an avocado salad from the Ethiopian restaurant, but I brought lunch and it is a long wal over there. Maybe we'll go get Ethiopian on Sunday.
Islam, the "false religion"
To some extent, if you don't accept that the Qur'an is the true word of God as delivered by Gabriel to Muhammad, then you consider Islam a "false religion". Maybe it's a matter of context.
24 hour news is a dangerous thing. They have to fill all that time so they babble about inane shit and pretend its news.
I think every time a birther starts up we should sing at them: [link]
I think I'm having sliced tomatoes on Italian bread with fresh mozzarella and olive oil, toasted open face.
My boss says anger drives her to do good things, but for me it just makes me a) sick and b) unpleasant to be around.
I wish I was like that, but I'm more like you, Sophia. That kind of anger just shuts me down, and I might rant to Stephen for a little while, but then I just withdraw and seethe.
I am stuck here waiting for the electrician. I want a pedicure. And to go grocery shopping. And my parents want to shop for some porch furniture. Dad "assessed" the porch supports and told me what I already knew.
Grump.

I'm guessing it is. People who say Islam is a "false religion" are almost always rightwing Christians who believe the US was founded on Christian principles.
What's even scarier is if you break down the numbers not by party affiliation, but by region:
GROAN
I have got to get the FUCK OUT OF HERE. Please, fates, send a wonderful job opportunity to my husband. I won't even bitch about moving, I swear!
I don't know where to send them, though - just somewhere ELSE, on the other side of a nice WALL (like in Rucker's SCIFI, we could exile them to Florida) and leave them there to stew in their own hypocrisy and madness.
For the love of all that's good and puppies, NOT UNTIL I LEAVE THIS GODFORSAKEN PIT OF DESPAIR!
The conspiracy theory that is bugging me right now is that government health care for the elderly means that the elderly won't get health care and die. Ack! They almost all already have government health care. Health care reform is supported by the AARP. Geez.
